'I may be being unkind to them': Sam Allardyce says that if his side 'do miraculously stay in the league, they have a LONG way to go in terms of quality' as Leeds fall into precarious position after West Ham defeat

Sam Allardyce has given a critical assessment of Leeds squad this year claiming that his side 'have a long way to go' after they were swept aside 3-1 by West Ham on Sunday.

Fresh from their Europa Conference League win against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday, West Ham appeared to be a little lethargic following their midweek trip and started the slower of the two sides, succumbing to goal from Rodrigo inside 17 minutes.

And what a goal it was, with the Spaniard rifling in a stunning volley from a long throw-in from Weston McKennie to put the away side a goal up.
